Dominic Singing

Sorry we haven't posted in a while! We both have been extremely busy; Tiffany with School and John with his new job. We'll try to post more often. Here's a video of Dominic  singing.

New corner office for John!

They moved me to a corner office today - I'm loving it! I have a view of Plum St. going all the way up from Fourth to the convention center, downtown Cincinnati. Too bad its just temporary!

New Swingset!

We bought this swingset for Dominic's birthday with our tax rebate. It should be shipped and installed in week or two once a land survey they are doing has been completed. It's called the "Lightning" by Creative Playthings, and its made out of pressed yellow pine. It has a built-in picnic table, a 10' wave slide, 3 swing spaces, a rock wall, a climbing ladder, and a lifetime warranty! We can even add on more cool accessories like a periscope, a telescope, a tire swing, a fireman pole, a play steering wheel, etc. More info about it can be found here.

We tried it out at the store and Dominic loved it - he can even get up the climbing wall practically on his own! Hopefully it will make this and upcoming summers more fun and adventurous for our little guy, his friends, and any future children we have.

Florida!!!

We took Dominic to the beach for the first time last week. We went to Marco Island, Fl, to visit Grandma Nancy who was there for the month of March.


He instantly started playing with the sand. A giant sandbox!!!


He giggled with each wave that splashed over his legs.


Eating dinner with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma Nancy.

From snow to sand in 2 weeks!

In Cincinnati we got over a foot of snow. This was Dominic's first big snow experience! He really enjoyed it, and didn't want to come inside even though he was shivering like crazy.

Dominic exploring nature!

Tiffany let Dominic collect some items from outdoors (acorns, pine cones, rocks, sticks, and pine needles) in a shoe box and gave him a set of magnifying glasses to look at them closer. He's never used a magnifying glass before and was fascinated by what he saw! He spent over an hour examining his "outdoor box". Our little guy has a deep fascination of nature!

Here are some pictures:

Historic Old. St. George Church burns down!

The church that John & Tiffany got married in burned down last night. It was a historic building, built in 1868. Here's a pic taken before the fire:


And the church as of last night:


Here's a pic of the inside of the church during our wedding.


So long for a beautiful building and a lot of memories! I was hoping the church would stand there forever. :(

We are bad bloggers!

There has been a ton going on and we just haven't had time to update here. I just posted an update at mommietoadramanic.blogspot.com for all who are interested.
